| Thought on OTL tube amps If the Berning folks might be stretching it a bit to call their amp an OTL, what about companies, like Tenor (I believe), that put out a solid state amp that they described as OTL? This was absolutely true, but, aside from a few solid state am... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Most OTL are not producing enough plate dissipation for a pair of tubes,Imagine for a pair of 6c33c tube with max.of 60 watts plate dissipation can produce more than 25 watts class A of power, 3 x of 300b output in SE.Its not a matter of plate... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I use the Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T-3.3 at home. It goes down to 20Hz. A set of our M-60s has no troubles driving them to very high volume levels with very satisfying bass (shakes the house). M-60s are full power down to 2Hz. Like **any*... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... If it sounds any way all the time, even smooth and relaxing, that is not a good thing to me. Its not good either if the sound is continuously irritating and chases me out of the room. Its OK if some recordings are and come out that way.I agr... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... The human ear is tuned to be the most sensitive at bird-song frequencies. It also uses higher ordered harmonics to calculate how loud a sound is- its not doing that from the fundamental frequencies as such are quite rare in a pure form in nature. ... | |
| question about ss or tubes Both tube and solid state take some time to break in; in addition both take time to warm up. Tubes take about two hours to really sound right and solid state takes 24 hours to a week (meaning that if its a solid state preamp it should be left on a... | |
| A push-pull tube design and Single-ended class A designs Generally speaking, if you want to explore what SETs really have to offer, higher efficiency loudspeakers of easy impedance (8-16 ohms) are preferred.A great speaker would be the Classic Audio Loudspeakers Hartsfield reproduction. Its about 105 db... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... The shielding in cables protects the cables from external radio frequencies but does nothing to protect the audio signal from the induced magnetic field. And the reason is because the induced magnetic field is a different issue and requires a d... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... ^^ Do you really believe that?? Here’s another link from Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propagation-wherein we find this text, pretty much the same as they teach in school:In free space, all electromagnetic waves (radio, light, X-ra... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Well you got the first sentence right. The rest of it seems to point to the area of confusion. You might want to think about the fact that radio waves can very much metals.... An example that most of us know about are microwaves.I think maybe wher... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Of course the real point is that EMI is not magnetic field. Which is what my original post was addressing. I.e., that shielding is effective for RFI/EMI but not for either external magnetic fields such as those produced by transformers or induc... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? and if you analize the RIAA curve you can see that exist a significative compression in the bass frequency range that latter on the phono stage have to be " restablished " through another RIAA eq. degradation mechanism.This is absolute nonsens... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... EMI = Electro-Magnetic Interferencehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... EMI **is** magnetic fields! So yes, that is what you are talking about. | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? When the vinyl is cut from a digital master the engineer must TONE THIS DIGITAL MASTER LOUDNESS FACTOR DOWN. He/she has no choice on this because of actual physical limitations with the cut grooves on the record, and noise itself. This statemen... |
